Abbott must restore Indonesia's trust in live exports

Tony Abbott arrives in Indonesia today on his first overseas visit as Prime Minister.

His meeting with President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono will be held amid growing local criticism of Australia's policy to turn asylum seeker boats back to Indonesia.

But key business leaders say the visit is also aimed at restoring Indonesian trust in the Australian cattle industry - still yet to fully recover from the temporary ban on meat exports imposed in 2011.
